Around SBN: Despite Relocation Drama, Coyotes Overcome Adversity

FRIDAY REMINDERS: RECRUITING RULES FOR THE WEEKEND

Please remember a few things going into this weekend, a big one for recruiting for schools everywhere.

  1. FEEL FREE TO CONTACT RECRUITS ON TWITTER. You might think a recruit would be dissuaded by the kind of online contact from strangers, but to the contrary the young people of today enjoy repeated interactions on Twitter. For instance, Gunner Kiel received all kinds of positive attention on Twitter, and it really paid off for the universe in general! Screen_shot_2012-01-20_at_3

  2. CHATROULETTE IS A GREAT WAY TO FIND RECRUITS. Don't go on there and look by name. Just keep "surfing" until you find someone you think is a recruit. They might have their pants off. Do not be alarmed: this is a common salutation on Chatroulette, and nothing to be alarmed at.
  3. DON'T GIVE YOUR RECRUIT CHOCOLATE! Unlike people, chocolate can kill recruits. Don't let them drink antifreeze, either! Unless it'll seal the deal! We don't know! Maybe?
  4. LIMIT CASH GIFTS TO $1500 OR LESS. This is an IRS thing, really. Out of our hands. Do be sure to document each gift, however, and encourage recruits to show their good fortune on Facebook and other forms of social media.
  5. PLEASE MAKE SURE ALL CARS DONATED ARE AMERICAN-MADE. Some of your programs are already on the pro-American bandwagon.
  6. CHURCH DONATIONS ARE NOT TO BE DECLARED. Though a 10-15% tip to your pastor is considered standard operating procedure in these transactions.
  7. IF YOU HAVE SEX WITH A RECRUIT. Tell him he was really good at it, and pay him lots of compliments. Not because it will help him decide to come to your school, but because the beginning of a young man's sexual life is a very vulnerable time, and it's important to be supportive while helping him improve his skills as a lover. Men have feelings, too. (Especially in their penises.)
  8. HAVE FUN! Most of all remember this is supposed to be fun, even the part where you burn a recruit's uncle's car just to show how much you love your school.

Please enjoy your weekend, and the important art at Sterling Archer Draper Pryce.

And if I make a dinner for a recruit

I should want to cook him a simple meal, but I shouldn’t want to cut into him, to tear the flesh, to wear the flesh, to be born unto new worlds where his flesh becomes my key.

That's "dinner for a recruit."

Not “from a recruit.”

I actually felt like I was being assaulted with this information. It was delivered in an almost militaristic fashion, to the point where I felt that there was palpable distaste for everyone that was a straight male from some people. I never got over the fact that it seemed like people constantly hit you in the face with their sexuality, and seemed to hold a grudge because I was a straight white guy.

The job I’m in right now is like that. They told the lead developer to not use an ID number to tag records in a table. I’ve been told that a simple query that worked fine with 1000 rows but takes about a minute and a half with 8 million rows, and can be simply rewritten to run in 0.03 seconds can’t be modified because “there are CM procedures in place.”

Now I’m all for CM, but when it’s a program used by one group and has about three developers writing the code, and there is no mechanism for patching the production system without doing a major deliverable… well, someone doesn’t know what they’re doing.

About the only math you need for programming

(unless the problems you’re solving are mathematical in nature, of course) is algorithm complexity theory (Big-O notation – basically, don’t use an algorithm that takes time proportional to N^2 if there’s one available that uses N log N instead).

Not even sure how much applicability this has

when working in the database applications that I specialize in. We don’t do mathematical computations in any real sense, beyond keeping track of stock or summing up columns, things like that. Obviously one does want to do that as quickly as possible, but they usually aren’t complex algorithms at all, requiring analysis to determine the best. When they do get a bit complicated, Oracle has a built-in tool that calculates the cost of the query for you, so you don’t need to do the analysis yourself in the first place. Its analysis is based on the indexing available and the number of full-table scans vs. using the indexes.

For example, I looked at a query the other day that was supposed to look at the number of messages that had been transmitted in the past hour or whatever, or to just get the last 100 or whatever. It was taking up to a half-hour to return data in some cases, and in some cases tied up the CPUs entirely to where I had to kill the sessions to free it up.

Turns out the view they were using pulled all 8 million or so rows before doing any kind of filtering on it. The view worked great with a thousand rows, but multiply that times 8,000 and the time went way up. I replaced the view in the query with a subquery that took the time slice or number of rows desired and put it in up front, rather than after the view. The time required to return the rows dropped from 1:30 to 0.03s. No fancy maffs required.

But admittedly, that’s database programming for you. No doubt calculating orbits for a gravity slingshot around the Moon, Sun, Jupiter and out to Pluto are a bit different.

All right, I know there has to be at least a couple of people in the Commentariat who can give me some information

I want to learn how to program in Python, I think.

In college, I had a course of general object-oriented programming concepts (used mostly C), and a couple courses of assembly language kind of stuff. I was sort of ambivalent towards C, but rather disliked assembly. However, since then, I’ve done a lot of stuff in Igor Pro, some in MATLAB, and some in IDL. Programming in these environments was all right—I much preferred it to what I’d learned in classes. So, I thought to myself, “Maybe I don’t hate programming itself, just programming in something that’s really close to the metal (as the saying goes).”

Cruising around on the Internet for a while, it seems like Python would be a good, high-level language on which to test out this idea (and just a useful skill to put on the resume in any case). I’m looking for recommendations of what kind of IDE should I use, what textbooks and/or online tutorials are really good, etc.

python is interepereted, so you dont really need an IDE too much I would say

If you do, any IDE would probably work and someone else can pitch in a better idea.

If you decide to try the java route, intelliJ or Eclipse are your friends, IDEwise

I'm not a Python guy

but I know there are a lot of IDEs for the Eclipse platform, and here’s one for Python.

Might be worth checking out. I know it is free.

Python is a good choice for scripting.

Perl’s OO stuff is flat-out awkward, and Java requires raging, megahuge IDEs and other things. Any time you find yourself writing a complex bash script, choose python instead. Bash is horribly ugly. One other thing about python: try to use objects as much as you can and avoid using raw dicts and such. Your code will be a lot cleaner if you objectify and still think in that way.

IDEs: screw ’em. Use vim and http://docs.python.org

There used to be a python tutorial somewhere on python.org. “Learning Python” used to be a good book; I’m not sure what the most recent edition is.

Also….. I have no knowledge of 3.0; only 2.x, so YMMV if you go with 3.0.

The best way to learn python though is to read and study code by someone really smart.

I had an awesome co-worker to benefit from this. You find yourself emulating his good design patterns and such when you are around well-written code.

by softbatch on Jan 20, 2012 5:53 PM EST up reply actions  

This is good advice no matter what language you're learning.

With Python, you just have the advantage that (unless they’re going out of their way to right horribly nasty code) you will spend a lot less time deciphering it than you would anything else.

My reasons for vim

1. It was time to graduate from pico
2. I tried emacs first and didn’t like the “use C- and M- for everything model”. It seemed like too many keystrokes to memorize. I could pick up vim faster.

I have a tendency to use raw dicts rather frequently.

They’re actually a handy way to emulate a case statement if you really need one (I’ve used this trick a couple times).

This is true. I have used dicts for the same.

It wasn’t my argument never to use raw dicts. Instead I meant that you can use classes instead of raw dicts to get better syntactic sugar, extensibility, and maintainability.

by softbatch on Jan 21, 2012 11:11 AM EST up reply actions  

The tutorial at the main site is excellent.

That’s basically the only thing I’ve used to learn (plus documentation for any external packages I install).
http://docs.python.org/tutorial/index.html (This is for Python 2.7; there are some minor changes in version 3, but some third-party packages I use haven’t been ported to 3 yet, so I still use 2.7. If you want to dive right into 3.2, use this one instead: http://docs.python.org/py3k/tutorial/index.html .)

As for IDEs, the one that comes with Windows Python installs (IDLE) is reasonably good. Better, if you’re going to get into GUI design, is to install wxPython and use the one they provide (I think it’s called pyCrust). But most of the time I just use a text editor with syntax highlighting (gedit) and pull up the interpreter if I need to try something out.

Everytime someone finises the big challenge they add another 1/2 lb and name it after the guy who ate it.

The current one is 6 pounds with two bacon slices and two cheese slices for each 1/2 lb patty. plus 6 lbs of fries.

Nick attempted the 5 lb burger + 5 lbs of fries challenge for some tv show and only finished 1.5 lbs, so they added one to the menu for him.

I remember back when Marvin Stone played at UK

He set a screen/pick at the half court line against a guy playing man D on our PG. Our PG ran full tilt up the court and the defender slammed into Stone (6’10, just shy of 300lbs) Stone didn’t even move, the defender bounced a good 3 feet off of Stone and didn’t get up until trainers were on the floor.

As long as the programs are accredited by ABET, you're pretty much going to learn the same thing

For instance, I don’t know what UVA’s EE degree requirements look like, but, going from my own EE experience at VT, I’m going to guess it looks something like this (I’m going to leave out all the history/english/other shit kids these days can clear with AP credit):

Math:
- 2 semesters of calculus
- Something about linear algebra (Gauss-Jordan elimination, eigenvalues/vectors, etc.)
- Differential equations
- Multivariable calculus (probably learn calculus in cylindrical and spherical coordinate systems while you’re at it)
- Vector calculus (curl, divergence, Laplacian, Green’s Theorem, Stokes’ Theorem, etc.)

Engineering:
- DC circuit analysis (Kirchoff’s voltage/current law, node&mesh equations, the three passive circuit elements (sorry memristors, no one learns about you yet))
- Programming, probably object-oriented (probably C or Java)
- Electronics (diodes, transistors (bipolar junction and field effect), operational amplifiers, simple configurations)
- Some kind of basic computer architecture (building shit out of various logic gates, putting together en/decoders, multiplexers, memory, SR latches, whatever, I didn’t like this class)
- Programming with microcontrollers (more stuff I didn’t like, lots of assembly and talking to I/O ports)
- Signal representation (Laplace and Fourier transforms, convolution, some simple system representation)
- AC circuit analysis (like DC, except with AC. Now takes advantage of Laplace transforms to solve analytically (or Fourier to solve computationally), make Bode plots, etc.)
- Electronic amplifiers (like the first electronics, except more small-signal model, designing some common amp configurations, etc)
- Power systems (transmission lines, 3-phase systems, a/synchronous machines)
- 2 semesters of electromagnetic fields (first semester is probably electro/magnetostatics, Gauss’ law, Ampere’s law, Biot-Savart law. Second semester, everything is time-varying (so you see why Maxwell’s Equations work), essentially just applying what you learned in vector calculus to engineering problems)
- Communication systems (lots of work in the Fourier domain, amplitude and angle modulation, heterodyne receiver, sampling theorem, quantization, line coding, etc.)
- System representation (more Laplace&Fourier transforms, filters, block diagrams, now with discrete-time systems, so Z-transform, discrete-time Fourier transform, discrete Fourier transform, fast Fourier transform)
- 5 senior elective courses, at least one of which will end up being a project that takes at least one entire semester to accomplish

There’s really only so many ways that you can separate yourself at the undergraduate level, most of which probably comes from what’s available in those senior elective courses.

by Synaesthesia on Jan 20, 2012 11:58 PM EST up reply actions  

Yes, I took the bare minimum of computer-y courses required

All my senior elective courses were in power systems, digital communications, and optical fibers.

I also ended up being 3 credits short of a math minor, but I knew proofs (actual, mathematically rigorous proofs) and I would not get along very well.

by Synaesthesia on Jan 21, 2012 12:14 AM EST up reply actions  

Yes, except E&M is squeezed into a single semester

And we have to take a couple unrestricted elective courses, and are encouraged to take courses from the College.

Georgia/GT is not really a good comparison for UVa/VT

Aggy jokes aside, UT/A&M are a better parallel in terms of academic program distribution and grad/undergrad balance (both “U-of”s are heavier on graduate programs).

That analogy breaks down on student population, though; while UT is slightly larger than A&M, VT is nearly one-and-a-half times the size of UVa. History too, obvs, since UT is younger than A&M and UVa is clearly not.

If the wood isn’t seasoned (allowed to dry for a season) it will be a challenge . . .

You can always use chemistry:
- a little tinders (paper, or very small ‘stuff’ with enormous surfance area (fresh steel wool is great, is used to light – under
- kindlind, usually the just the regular wood, chopped up into small pieces (smaller is better) – under
- the wood you wish to burn. If having trouble getting it going, split the wood smaller, set the ‘next’ pieces to be burned near the fire so the heat of the fire drys them, and most important, make sure flame has lots of ventilation to allow O2 in & CO2 out . . .

Though seriously, going back to my ECAC-Big East comparison, they should try and make a play for RIT. Very good academics… upstate New York location… fits perfectly. So of course they’ll never do that.

Hockey fans are not happy about it

The B1G conference has effectively killed a whole lot of rivalries.

Although to your point, teams usually have about 20 conference games, so the B1G will play 4 games against each team (2 home to away) most likely and leave them with room for 8 non conference series (teams in college hockey play two games at a time against opponents to cut down on travel) so there’s still a chance for those rivalries to be salvaged

I never really had issues with the lax bro culture at my high school on LI

at least in my grade and above (the year below was kinda bad with it, but they were all a bunch of fun guys to play with and were really good so there wasn’t much of a problem with it). That and all the guys and girls who’ve gone on to play in college at my school (again save the grade below me) don’t fit that lax bro criteria. Once I ran into all these prep school kids when I tried out for club lacrosse here at SU, as well as every Halloween and most of the girls that go to the men’s lacrosse games (luckily non-bro guys make up the vast majority of the student section), I’ve seen how annoying it can get in person.

I went to a party at the SU team's house one time

They didn’t fit the bro category for the most part. Not as anti-bro as they were prior to this season with that senior class, but still pretty much like that. They were also pretty cool and got me in for free just because I told them “Hopkins sucks” haha

Also, believe it or not, Princeton’s pretty anti-bro as well. A good friend of mine’s on their women’s team and her two brothers played for them in the past, and in addition to them being very anti-bro from what I’ve heard from her/seen from pics she’s been tagged in/some of the players I’ve met when I was down there last spring, they don’t seem like a bad bunch really.

Not watching, but good point guards make a game much more enjoyable.

And Rubio, Chris Paul, and Chauncey Billups are some of the finest.

Woo, cash dump

Hurricanes trade Alexei Ponikarovsky for fourth-round pick and $RANDOM_DEFENSE_PROSPECT. Saves $600K and frees up room to see whether one of the kid forwards can handle the load, so this is… good for the future, I guess.

This is just your regular reminder that recruiting services and their rankings are sketchy as hell

Every other recruiting service has Gunner Kiel as a 5 star recruit and the top QB in the class. In ESPN’s latest rankings he’s dropped to the 32 spots to the #52 overall player. The only think that changed between this ranking and the last is he decommitted from LSU and ended up at ND

And usually I thought it went the other way around.

Or at least with offers…a Notre Dame offer was frequently a ticket to an extra recruiting star.
